If that's the case then I'd say it would be worth making a little macro to try
it out. Something like
define_simple_predicate_matcher :rise_from_the_ashes?
It would need to define a simple matcher, allowing you to do
Phoenix.new.should rise_from_the_ashes?
which would naturally expand to Phoenix.new.rise_from_the_ashes?.should be_true
Roger, if you're just talking about include?, follow Rick's suggestion. If
you're talking about arbitrary predicates, then you can accomplish it in your
own codebase with some simple metaprogramming, and see if it catches on with
other folks.
